"But calling someone an idiot just because he has a different opinion is out of line."I'm not calling anyone an idiot because they differ from my opinion. I am call them idiots because of their presentation and self appointed rightousness. Running people out of production and off the forums and into hiding and the little "jabs" along the way is "out of line". Sure we can get on with it. Maybe rallying the troops against people like that is what is needed then sitting on your hands hoping it will go away. If each time an idiot like this comes along and we loose 2-3 designers, how long do you think it will be until there are none. You do the math. Adios!Don

If the idiot you are describing is this Jeff guy that mentioned that airline logos are copyrighted items, then I fail to see where he was unfair in anything he said or did. He stole nothing.I had a coworker who didn't like something management said to him. So he decided to "show them" and quit. They hired someone else. He's out of work. The company is still in business. See my point?Grow that skin a little thicker. You should know by now no matter how much you say stop stealing, there will always be some idiot that does it. Maybe deal with it in private and move on. This recent trend, IMHO, will do more to deter prospective freeware designers from ever starting, than it will to stop the few who refuse to respect freeware.

I had a whole big thing written out to reply to this. I am done with it. He has been proven wrong about logo usage in here. People are now out and gone from here. Yeah, I think it's time to move on. But you had better read EVERY posting that was written before you come to the conclusion on how "wonderful" he is. He has hurt the community. If that's a good thing, lets give him a party! I'm finished here. I hope nobody else adds to this and just lets it die.Don

Good heavens. To use your euphemism: Grow that brain a little thicker, Piper22.Picking one little post out and making it seem like you have an "informed" point of view makes you look foolish. The *least* you could do before you continue trolling is *actually read all the relevant threads* that Jeff has continued to make his silly argument in, over and over, ad nauseam. Then, read the past five months (over a year actually, but worse the past five months) of freeware bashing that has taken place on the forum and give rise to the current climate and problems.It would at least make you a somewhat effective troller then.Take care,Elrondhttp://members.rogers.com/eelvish/Boycott-RIAA.gif]"A musician without the RIAA, is like a fish without a bicycle."[/font://http://members.rogers.com/eelvish/B...cle."[/b][/font

It seems as if its always the same few here as well. One goes against your opinions they get bashed, slammed, flamed, ect. Thats ok though. Your allowed to but god forbid anybody do it to you :-rollI never bashed, I never stole. I just stated an opinion. For this I have been flamed by the same few time and time again. Thats OK though because your entitled to do that but nobody it entitled to do give it back are they? I see were this is going.
